18.2 Acres of Mountain Land in the Heart of Gilpin County
Priced to sell at just $22,500, this 18.2-acre mountain property in the City of Black Hawk represents one of the most compelling value plays in Colorado's high country real estate market. Whether you're a recreational land buyer, a long-term land investor, or simply someone who wants to own a piece of Colorado, this parcel delivers on all fronts - at a price per acre that is nearly impossible to find this close to an incorporated mountain city.
Situated directly along State Highway 119, the property enjoys a rare and highly coveted attribute for raw mountain land: paved, year-round public road access. No dirt roads, no easement negotiations, no wondering how you'll get in after a snowstorm. You're on the highway. That kind of access on an 18-acre mountain parcel at this price point is genuinely hard to come by in Gilpin County or anywhere along the I-70 mountain corridor.
Location-wise, the property is within one mile of downtown Black Hawk, home to world-class casino resorts, dining, and entertainment. The proximity to an incorporated city with established infrastructure is a meaningful long-term consideration for any land investor watching Colorado's Front Range continue its westward growth pressure. Meanwhile, the property sits close to the Maryland Mountain Hidden Treasure Trailhead, making it a natural draw for outdoor enthusiasts.
The land itself is heavily wooded and rugged mountain terrain - the kind of dramatically beautiful, densely forested Colorado landscape that aerial photos simply don't do justice. At 18.2 acres, you have real acreage to explore, and the forested canopy and mountainous topography give the land a feeling of privacy and seclusion that's remarkable given how close you are to a major highway and a fully built-out city.
